Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 222: A New Star in the Literary World (Part )

In this different world, there is also a civil service examination similar to the ancient imperial examination in another time and space, which is equivalent to the civil service examination! In order to participate in the civil service examination, you need to have the elite documents issued by major colleges.

"Alas! I've been reborn into a different world. As a scholar, why do I need to be so excited?"

On the eighth day of August, when Liu Feiyun came to Wende College to take the exam, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he saw nearly ten thousand students competing for only a thousand admission places!

You have to know that these nearly 10,000 people were selected through competition from tens of millions of people in the 36 states of the empire! Among them are teenagers like Liu Feiyun, as well as middle-aged uncles in their thirties or forties.

In order to maintain order, the imperial court also sent a large number of officials and soldiers, which allowed the examination to proceed smoothly.

Liu Feiyun entered the examination room, took the test paper, and became excited: My college life for the next few years will begin from today!

In the three-day joint examination, half of the students flocked to the six most famous colleges for the first exam, with an average of 10,000 students in each college.

As for the remaining thirty colleges, each has an average of only two to three thousand students.

If the scores are the same, the college will naturally give priority to admitting the students who prefer it!

Starting from the second exam, the number of students taking the exam in each of the thirty-six colleges became roughly equal, unlike the huge disparity in the first exam.

On the same day, not only in the imperial capital Changluo, but also in the capital cities of each state and some literary holy places, students were taking exams! The difference was that these students only had to take one exam!

There are 36 government-run colleges in the imperial capital, 36 in local areas, 72 government-run colleges, and more than 20 privately-run colleges. Every year, 100,000 people enter these colleges for further study.

One hundred thousand people may seem like a lot, but there are 70 million civilian households in the entire empire, tens of millions of people. This does not include the roughly equal number of lowly households, slave households, and runaway households!

The empire has thirty-six states, more than three hundred counties, and more than two thousand county governments. On average, only dozens of people in each county government can enter the academy to study.

Of course, not all of these more than a hundred colleges are liberal arts colleges for training scholars. They also include other types of colleges such as commerce, industry, agriculture, military science, and miscellaneous studies. It’s just that Confucian liberal arts colleges for training scholars account for the vast majority!

The three-day exam was over in the blink of an eye! Next, the hundreds of thousands of students pouring into Changluo City would wait for the exam results in various mental states.

After Liu Feiyun finished the exam, he did not sit idle, but stayed in Cuiliu Pavilion, preparing for the upcoming apprenticeship meeting. He was not worried at all that he might not meet the requirements for apprenticeship.

On the contrary, Liu Qianqian felt that her younger brother was becoming a little unreliable, and even regretted why she believed his lies in the first place!

It's not that easy to get into the academy with your own ability! But if you want to enter the academy with power and money, it's not impossible! But if you want to become a disciple of the dean of a college, it's almost impossible!

The reason why I say almost is that in the entire empire, there are still a few people who can become disciples of these deans without taking the test! They are the princes!

This is how the inkstone washer Chang Xianzhi became the Prince's literary teacher. It was precisely because of this identity, coupled with his already great reputation in the literary world, that he took over the Wende College last year and became the head of the college!

Liu Feiyun wanted to become Chang Xianzhi's disciple. In Liu Qianqian's opinion, it was very difficult! Very difficult!

However, since her younger brother was in high spirits, Liu Qianqian chose to coax him! Everything should be done according to his wishes first, just coax him to be happy! When the results of the examination come out, he will face the reality, and then slowly teach him step by step! Let him stay in Changluo for a few years in peace, so as not to cause any trouble out of thin air.

On August 14, in the largest Wenyuan Square in the college area, thirty-six colleges announced the scores of students who participated in the college examination! Of course, each college only announced the top two thousand.

Two thousand people from each college, 72,000 people from 36 colleges! But in reality, not that many people are on the list, because many people may have their names on the lists of two or even several colleges!

Being on the list of a college does not necessarily mean you can be admitted to the college! Because each college only recruits 1,000 people from the colleges' joint examinations! If the 1,000 places are full, and you still want to enter the college, you can only find ways to get the extra places of less than 100 people! And the so-called methods are nothing more than power, money, and personal relationships! This is not something that most ordinary students can do!

For a moment, the huge Wenyuan Square was packed with people, and the release point of the list of thirty-six colleges and universities was even more crowded. If it weren't for the large number of Qinglong Legion soldiers maintaining order, a stampede would have occurred!

Liu Feiyun was dragged to Wenyuan Square by Liu Qianqian early in the morning to wait for the announcement of the results.

They first came to the Blood Blade Academy's results announcement point! This is an academy that trains talents for the military, and it seems a bit out of place to be in Wenyuan Square! But who says it is one of the thirty-six academies!

As the son of Liu the Butcher, Liu Feiyun naturally had to take the military academy entrance exam to test the effectiveness of his military studies over the past year, and to see if he could qualify as an auditor!

If a person's scores on multiple exams are all incredibly good, then in addition to being able to choose a college to formally enroll in, they can also obtain the qualification of auditors of other colleges! Although such people are very rare.

"Oh! Tenth! I barely qualified to be an auditor! I should be able to handle it with my dad now."

Liu Feiyun looked at his name at the end of the top list and felt relieved!

Amid the regretful looks of several lecturers at Blood Blade Academy, Liu Feiyun hurried away with his auditor badge.

"I just want to prove to my father that I haven't been lazy in my military studies this year, but I don't really want to join the army! It's better to be a sword for others now than to command swords myself in a few years! I want to have my own private army in the future!"

Liu Feiyun thought as he walked.

The second stop is Tao Zhu Business School! Since I have to give an explanation to my father, how can I miss my mother! After all, I am also the son of Chu Caishen!

"Third! Good boy! You actually got third place! You are really amazing!" Liu Qianqian said with a smile.

Liu Feiyun also said with some pride: "It's just so-so! Only third! Let's get the audit pass quickly and go to the next college!"

After the lecturer of Tao Zhu College failed to invite Liu Feiyun, he could only issue an auditor badge to him with a disappointed look on his face!

Similarly, Liu Feiyun took the business school exam just to prove his so-called business talent to his mother.
